Bottom Left is the bad zone to be in. We are the worst of the worst over the past month+. -
NFL announces the passing of John Madden.
Ricky Spanish replied to Cdparr7's topic in Carolina Panthers
Going to put some Tinactin on tonight in his honor. All kidding aside, I might boot Madden up for the first time in years in his honor. Countless hours playing those games and they truly helped me get into football. -

Wasn't from the Carolina Panthers account, so it's not spam.

Since Tepper took over, he has kind of monopolized the media surrounding the team. We don't have nearly as many candid takes about what is happening from beat reporters, or even Jeremy anymore. It all feels so corporate and sterile now. Nothing bad gets out. No critical articles about the team because it runs the risk of upsetting the team who controls the narratives now. Kind of a big ol' bummer.

Could this team beat the 2001 or 2010 teams?
Ricky Spanish replied to KillerKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Just a heads up, there's a website called whatifsports.com that let's you run these kinds of simulations. 2021's panthers weren't available but 2020's were. They lost to the 2010 panthers: -
WFNZ interview with Ellis Williams from Observer
Ricky Spanish replied to raleigh-panther's topic in Carolina Panthers
For those who can't listen: Process is only 25% working Defense is regressing must be frustrated with the offensive incompetence Believes Sam Darnold played better than Cam last game Said team has some semblance of passing offense when he's in, but has no trust in the line. Much more skittish than Cam, doesn't know when to eat it and take the L on the play. Both aren't playing quality football but it's better for the team moving forward if Sam actually plays and plays well. What does Sam have to do in order to be the QB going into next year no questions asked? Can't really evaluate Sam because the line is so horrible. BC played decent but would he have played if Daley or erving were available? OL is a systemic problem that needs to be fixed Sam needs to not turn the ball over, Get a 300 yd passing game Sam will never be a long term solution now How many Lineman do the panthers need to find in order to fix the OL? 3 new starters - LT, C, and one decent guard. Clean slate wouldn't be bad either (minus moton) Good teams with good lines have good line coaches. Need a new one who doesn't suck. Three areas of weakness of D - 3rd down defense, run defense, red zone defense Panthers need to get bigger up front. Aren't built to take on run first teams Need to get more versatile in that regard. Went the college route of building quicker line instead of more stout line and got bitten by it Would it make sense to move on from Matt Rhule? It would make sense. Rhule teams have no momentum at the end of each first two years. Shows teams aren't getting better throughout the year. Doesn't think he will get fired though. Said if he does stay then his power will be neutered. -

Ricky Spanish replied to KillerKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
I think 2021 would beat 2010 based on 2021's defense. Our defense this year is legit, our offense is just hot garbage. Our defense in 2010 was hot garbage so I think even Darnold and the ghost of Cam Newton could put up points on them. Pickles couldn't beat this defense. -
Against the best pass rushing team in the league (Buccs tied for the lead league in sacks).

Other then Oline other positions of interest to improve?
Ricky Spanish replied to WOW!!'s topic in Carolina Panthers
Team needs in order of importance: QB OL DT MLB S I only list QB as the top because it is simply the most important position on the team. we have MORE glaring needs along the OL so it's really a 1a/1b with them. -
Pat Meyer shouldn't have been brought in to begin with. I was shocked we brought in the coach of one of the few lines that was worse than ours the other season (Chargers)

Let's say we make a change and fire Rhule

Hackett McDaniels Bowles Eberflus Daboll Moore No To: Caldwell Pederson Leftwich Bienemy -
Not being a dick here, I honestly want to know what those arguments are. As of now, I would argue the following reasons to move on from him: Regression seen from many promising players Unceremonious departure from Cam last offseason after lying about wanting to coach him Signing Teddy to a massive deal Trading Teddy 1 year into said massive deal eating away at the cap space Doing nothing to improve the offensive line in two offseasons. Prioritizing versatility in OL instead of actual competency in one particular position. Consistently fielding the worst Line in the league week in and week out. Drafting two offensive linemen and refusing to play them even though the starters are some of the worst lines ever assembled. Trading for Sam Darnold by sending away a 2nd, 4th, and 6th When Sam started sucking, bringing Cam back in the middle of the season to replace the replacement of the replacement for Cam. Throwing players under the bus during press conferences while coddling Sam earlier in the season. Trading a 3rd for CJ Henderson who has shown absolutely nothing that warrants his original draft position in the first last season (Even though Rhule was reportedly in love with him as a prospect). Having us go into the upcoming offseason with Sam Darnold as our only QB under contract and the worst offensive line in the league with only 1 pick in the top 100 picks of the draft. Wasting millions of our Cap on QBs (Teddy and Sam) and bad extensions of his guys (Robby). Getting out coached week over week Preaching patience about building a competitive team then making hyper aggressive moves that handicap our ability to build a competitive team in the future after the hyper aggressive moves turn out to be terrible. That's everything off the top of my head. I honestly don't know what arguments can be made to keep him that outweigh that list of egregious mistakes over the past two seasons.
